I know it won't help grow back lost hair and understand that it's not a heavy hitter like finasteride in battling hair loss, but I'm just wondering how helpful it might be? Am I correct in thinking that the ingredient ketoconazole works somewhat similarly to finasteride in that it is a DHT blocker? (though less effective and applied topically as opposed to taken orally). If so, could it also have some smaller likelihood of the side-effects associated with finasteride? (I'm not on finasteride.)
